0. News
Stepan reported a meeting with Bob McKeown. Bob still wants a joint review with DOE, but understandably expects DOE HEP to move the planning along.

John reported a conversation with Alan Stone. He wants our proposal and FWPs from the laboratories on Jan. 24. His primary concern is budget and milestones and schedules. He'll schedule the review in March or April after the DOE budget retreat. Funding in late spring is possible if all goes well.

We reminded those not at the HPS weekly meeting that the meeting time will move to Wednesdays at 8:30 Pacific/11:30 Eastern beginning 11/14/12.

1. Test Run Chapter
Pelle reviewed plans and text for the Test Run Chapter. He has already assembled a lot of text, including contributions from several others. He was urged to make the text as short as possible and cover just the key points. He'll edit his current version, and send the revision around for comment.

2. Performance
Takashi reviewed his outline for the Performance section. Slides attached. He pointed out simulation work that is needed to evaluate the trigger and muon trigger. It is important that the muon system vacuum chamber be defined so backgrounds and trigger rates can be reliably calculated. There was some discussion of pion production code that was apparently used in the original proposal--Takashi will check.
